Bharat Bandh to affect Janatha Garage
'Janatha Garage' is now facing an unexpected issue! Its the Bharat Bandh scheduled to happen on September 2nd and the Left Front comprising 17 Parties is organizing it. Central Trade Unions have given a call for Bharat Bandh in protest against the amendments to Labour Acts in a one-side manner by NDA Government. Even People of AP might extend support to the bandh call after BJP backtracked on Special Category Status. If that happens, Openings of 'Janatha Garage' will get effected. In Kerala, Left Parties are so strong. As a result, Distributors and Exhibitors were a bit tensed over this possible threat. Makers might pre-pone the release by one day, Sep 1st. On September 2nd, Hrithik Roshan and Pooja Hegde's 'Mohenjo Daro', Vikram's 'Iru Mugan' and Dhanush's 'Thodari' were releasing. Hundreds of crores is at stake & let's just hope for the best to happen.
